dbo:abstract Die Gordon Relief Expedition oder Nile Expedition wurde 1884/85, unter Garnet Wolseley, nach Sudan entsandt, um Generalgouverneur Charles George Gordon vor dem Mahdi-Aufstand zu retten. Sie erreichte die sudanesische Hauptstadt Khartum zwei Tage zu spät, um die Erstürmung der Stadt durch die Mahdisten und die Ermordung Gordons zu verhindern. (de) The Nile Expedition, sometimes called the Gordon Relief Expedition (1884–85), was a British mission to relieve Major-General Charles George Gordon at Khartoum, Sudan. Gordon had been sent to the Sudan to help Egyptians evacuate from Sudan after Britain decided to abandon the country in the face of a rebellion led by self-proclaimed Mahdi, Mahommed Ahmed. A contingent of Canadians was recruited to help the British navigate their small boats up the Nile River. The Nile Expedition was the first overseas expedition by Canadians in a British imperial conflict, although the Nile Voyageurs were civilian employees and did not wear uniforms. The expedition was commanded by Garnet Wolseley. After Commander Herbert Stewart was mortally wounded, Brigadier-General Charles William Wilson took command of an advance party of about 1,400 men. On two Nile steamers Wilson's Desert Column reached Khartoum in the afternoon of 28 January 1885. It came two days too late: Khartoum had been seized by the Mahdists in the early hours of 26 January. Between 5,000 and 10,000 inhabitants of the city were slaughtered, among them Gordon. Wilson received criticism afterwards for his delay in sailing to Khartoum, with Wolseley stating that Wilson had "lost any nerve he had ever possessed". Other sources however, spread the blame, particularly on Wolseley. The public in England also blamed Prime Minister William Gladstone for not having taken steps to relieve the siege of Khartoum and some historians have held Major-General Gordon responsible, because he had refused the order to evacuate while that was still possible.

L'expédition du Nil fut la première mission outre-mer des Canadiens dans un conflit de l'Empire britannique, même si les voyageurs du Nil étaient des employés civils ne portant pas l'uniforme.

Gordon werd naar Soedan gestuurd om Egyptenaren te helpen evacueren uit Soedan nadat de Britse regering beslist had het land te verlaten vanwege een opstand geleid door de zelf-benoemde Mahdi, Mohammed Ahmad ibn Abd Allah. Een contingent van Canadezen werden gerekruteerd om de Britten te helpen varen op de Nijl. De Nijlexpeditie was de eerste overzeese expeditie van Canadese troepen. De expeditie en zijn achtergrond zijn levendig beschreven in het boek van Winston Churchill, The River War. (nl)
